- Netgear’s exium acquisition is targeted at SMEs with powerful all-in-one security
- Traditional VPNs can disappear when Netgear pushes Sase into its next general business offer
- Netgear’s hardware becomes smarter, bundling of security directly in routers for protection outside the box
Netgear has entered the market for canning cybersecurity by acquiring exium, a company that specializes in secure cloud -based network.
The company says the move is part of Netgear’s long -term strategy to serve small and medium -sized companies (SMEs) with simplified, high -performance connectivity solutions.
By integrating Exium’s technology into its portfolio, Netgear aims to go beyond traditional VPNs and provide a modern SACE Access Service Edge (Sase) framework that meets both network and security needs.
To make security in business quality manageable for small IT teams
By this step, the company believes that it can not only offer a strong business VPN alternative, but also a comprehensive, user-friendly platform.
The integration of Exium’s platform will enable Netgear to develop an all-in-one system that combines the cable and wireless network with built-in security features.
“AI has changed the pacifier landscape for small and medium -sized businesses as well as larger companies, but the solution to SMEs is often too difficult to implement or need to be cobbled on the network and managed separately,” Pramod Badjate, president and GM for Netgear for business.
“By offering the exium Sase solution with the goal of integrating it into our Insight Cloud Management Platform, we will be able to bring our customers a trouble-free, one-window-of-glass solution that is easily implemented and managed by small IT teams or MSPs.”
The acquisition also sets the stage for improved hardware that supports advanced security features right out of the box.
With its sights that are set to become a top provider of VPN routers for business users, Netgear is now aiming to supply network devices that are secure by design.
The company’s established expertise in wireless hardware, combined with exium’s cyber security layer, means that SMEs could soon benefit from ready for use routers and switches that offer both performance and protection.
At the core of the Exium’s platform is a zero-thrust architecture that is consistent with Netgear’s plan to deliver a leading zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution to its customer base.
“EXIUM was built from scratch as a cyber security solution to help protect small and medium -sized companies that lack a comprehensive solution to combat cyber security threats,” said Farooq Khan, CEO of Exium.
“We share a similar vision with Netgear and are happy to participate in the team to build a fully integrated network and security solution, which is specially tailored to meet the needs of these customers.”
